Hi, Is it possible to add delay in overlapping iis 6.0 recycling? for example iis does not shutdown the old pool for 2 hours even the new app pool is live and processing requests. I`ve got sometimes a long running request.
I thought that 'shutdown time limit' property is right one for that but it`s not. IIS is still shutdown the old pool after about a minute and i recieve an error: System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
I don't think that you can specify an overlap.
You can configure that recycling will only happen at a specific time, for example 2 a.m when no users are using the system.
If you have a process that lives in memory for 2 hours, you should probably write info to disk, such that the process can start where it left off, in case the services fails.
this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759201%28WS.10%29.aspx clearly states: In both types of recycling, the WWW service allows a configured amount of time for the old worker process to handle the requests that it has already taken from HTTP.sys before it shuts itself down.
